Stanford Linear Accelerator Center

将在斯坦福大学直线加速器（SLAC）上进行极化核子靶的深度非弹性电子散射测量。这些数据将提供有关核子的夸克自旋结构的详细信息，并测试我们对核子的理解，以及我们对强相互作用的基本理论量子色动力学的理解。同时也提出了未来电生粲介子以研究胶子自旋结构函数的实验设想。 拟议中的实验具有很高的科学价值，美国大学小组在实验工作中发挥了重要作用。这些实验还为研究生和本科生提供了基础研究前沿的培训基地。

Measurement of deep inelastic electron scattering from polarized nucleon targets will be carried out at the Stanford Linear Accelerator (SLAC). These data will provide detailed information on the quark spin structure of the nucleon and test our understanding of the nucleon, as well as our understanding of the fundamental theory of strong interactions, Quantum Chromodynamics. Also proposed are future experiments on the electroproduction of charmed mesons to study the gluon spin structure function. The proposed experiments are of very high scientific interest, and the American University group plays an essential role in the experimental effort. The experiments also provide a training ground at the forefront of basic research for graduate and undergraduate students.
